The official word from the network is that Daniel was forced to turn down other projects in order to take part in the show, but insiders note that she's not the only one who's turned down other work to join the cast of The Game.

The other cast members are reportedly upset, understandably. Regardless of the network's reasoning for the salary discrepancy, it's unfortunate that it didn't occur to anyone in a position of power that perhaps a network that focuses on providing entertainment to the black community should avoid paying a white actress double what some of her black costars make. Just a thought.
